Biography
Raymond Curto was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1934 to a family of Italian descent. Curto rose in the ranks of the DiMeo crime family to become a capo, and he would become one of the five captains of the family. Curto's son would later be diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, forcing Curto to become an FBI informant so that he could avoid arrest and be able to take care of his son. Curto's loyalty was never doubted by his fellow mobsters, however, and Tony Soprano suggested that he should become boss after Jackie Aprile Sr.'s death in 1999; Curto said that he was too old, and refused. In 2006, he died of a stroke in an FBI agent's car while giving the agent information on Soprano.
